Ribbed Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

This week in the Crochet Along for a Cause, we’re completing a matching set with the Ribbed Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern! Designed to go with the Ribbed Baby Beanie, this blanket uses the same front post and back post double crochet stitches to create a soft, stretchy ribbed texture that’s both cozy and classic.

The ribbing makes this blanket extra squishy while still simple enough for beginners to enjoy. It’s worked as a solid rectangle, making it easy to adjust the size if you’d like to make it larger or smaller.

Materials

• Yarn: Worsted weight acrylic yarn (soft, washable, and durable for donation projects)
• Hook: H/5.0 mm
• Notions: Yarn needle, scissors
